How to change the date format?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to change the date format from the native user mm.dd.yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy without changing the SU01 parameters.

how can I do that?

Thanks,

Itay:

Please ask your BASIS Administrator to change the values for the following parameters:

For Date: zcsa/moddatfm=2

For Decimal Notation: zcsa/moddcpfm=2 (if you want it in 1,234.00 format)

For Time Zone: zcsa/modtimefm

This should help.

Thanks

Hi,

One way for doing this is by using a function Module.

You can create a function module that will take date in the different formats and give output date as per your requirement.

If you want i can send you a sample code for that function module on your mailID.

Thanks.

Hello,

what about using a custom conversion exit?

hi itay.......

you cannot do that......

what you can do is

have a type string that allows the user to enter as dd/mm/yyyy and then use your logic to convert it to the system format.

Hi Alex,

I thought of that but then I will not have the date popup to select the date and I will have to re-format it when reading the data. nasty solution...

I am not aware of anyway to do it but maybe one of the guys do...

Thanks for your help,

Itay
